Sen. Stern described SB 1359 as the Natural Gas Ratepayer Transparency Act and said it would give the Public Utilities Commission new analytic tools—without mandating action—to assess risks of replacement, upgrades and cost impacts associated with the state's natural-gas infrastructure. "This bill will make sure they have tools on the table to analyze…regular information about risks of replacement, upgrades, distributional cost impacts," Stern said on the floor.
Stern said Assembly amendments reduced opposition and that the bill is about better planning and ratepayer protections going forward. After the presentation the Senate moved to roll call on concurrence.
